hi

I have squid version 2.6.STABLE5 installed on etch stable.
I'd like to eradicate squid log files using cron and logrotate according to:

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bandwidth-Limiting-HOWTO/faq.html

but howto change this cron entry:

Code:

#SQUID - logrotate
01 4 * * * root /opt/squid/bin/squid -k rotate; /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf; /bin/rm -f /var/log/squid/*.log.0

for debian etch stable ?

perhaps ?

Code:

#SQUID - logrotate
01 4 * * * root /usr/sbin/squid -k rotate; /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf; /bin/rm -f /var/log/squid/*.log.0

my /etc/logrotate.d/squid looks like:

Code:

/var/log/squid/access.log {
  daily
  rotate 4
  copytruncate
  compress
  notifempty
  missingok
}

/var/log/squid/cache.log {
  daily
  rotate 4
  copytruncate
  compress
  notifempty
  missingok
}

/var/log/squid/store.log {
  daily
  rotate 4
  copytruncate
  compress
  notifempty
  missingok
  # This script asks squid to rotate its logs on its own.
  # Restarting squid is a long process and it is not worth
  # doing it just to rotate logs
  postrotate
  /usr/sbin/squid -k rotate
  endscript
}

should I remove these all entries and change to:

Code:

#SQUID logrotate - will keep logs for 40 days
/var/log/squid/*.log.0 {
rotate 40
compress
daily
postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd
endscript
}
